President Joe Biden has no plans to visit Georgia to campaign for Democrat Senate candidate Raphael Warnock, days before the Senate runoff on Tuesday.

A reporter asked Biden on Friday why he wasn’t going to Georgia to campaign for Warnock. The president responded that he was going to Boston instead.

The president is flying to Massachusetts on Friday to aid Warnock from afar. He is set to participate in a phone bank run by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and a reception for the reception for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

“I’m going to Georgia today to help Senator War — not to Georgia; we’re going to help Senator Warnock because I’m doing a major fundraiser up in Boston today for — for the — our next and continued Senate candidate and senator,” Biden said.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has insisted that Biden would do whatever Warnock wanted, but has not specifically answered why he won’t go to Georgia.

“The president is willing to help Sen. Warnock any way he can, however the senator wants him to get involved,” Jean-Pierre said Wednesday and Monday.

Warnock has distanced himself from Biden throughout his campaign and refused to answer a question during October’s debate as to whether the president should run again in 2024. It appears he has not asked Biden to come to Georgia, given the administration’s promise to “get involved” in any capacity. Warnock and Vice-President Kamala Harris also did not answer questions as to whether Biden would join on the campaign trail in November. (RELATED: Walker And Warnock Tied In Georgia Senate Runoff Poll)

Former President Donald Trump has also not announced any plans to visit Georgia in person to support Republican candidate Herschel Walker. He will call supporters in the state and send emails instead, people familiar with Trump’s plans told the New York Times.

The Daily Caller has reached out to Sen. Warnock’s office and will update this story as necessary.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
